Could not find out how to set up my md-raid in any of the offered panels - so I ended up using a UBCD disk to do the partitioning and setting the "fd" mode - then anaconda showed the /dev/mdx devices - finally! Then when I tried rescue mode it asks for a restore image - I hadn't even got to the point where this could be done - I was looking for a runlevel 1 type of console so I could make some changes - I still don't know what I did, but eventually managed to crash out of the installer and get a root prompt. As I said - seems to have gone seriously backward. </rant> Having vented, I must say the rest of CentOS 6.0 seems to work well - I'll keep exploring. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
